Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

It is said that it is three poles in the sun, but it is only two quarters in an hour.

Compared with people of this era, it is already very late to get up.

Minglan woke up in a daze, looked at Danju who was guarding her side, and asked, "What time is it?"

Danju told the time.

Minglan was shocked, "Why didn't you call me? Wouldn't this delay the tea ceremony?"

Dan Ju said aggrievedly, "The Marquis didn't want my slaves to disturb your rest. Just now the lady in the mansion sent someone here and said that if you don't want to come and serve tea, you can be excused."

During the response, Gu Tingye came over specially, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Minglan frowned and said, "I shouldn't have let Dan Ju stop calling me."

If Minglan didn't have a good uncle, then she would have to be cautious in everything she did when she married into the prince's family.

I don't have too many worries now.

From the bottom of my heart, she believed that her marriage to Gu Tingye did not involve any high-level pursuit or marriage, but it could not be said that she was a good match.

It's just that the two of them are suitable for each other.

Gu Tingye sat on the edge of the bed, holding Minglan's white little hand, and said, "Don't worry about inviting An for tea. I have already told her that you are not feeling well, so you will get up late."

Minglan said: "You are in the army, so you won't notice these things. If I don't serve tea, I'm afraid there will be rumors in the city tomorrow."

At this point, she sighed and stood up quickly, "Danju, help me get dressed."

"Anyway, it's my fault. I should have remembered the time."

Gu Tingye had no choice but to stand aside and watch.

Later, the two of them went to serve tea to Xiao Qin.

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw the other uncles and aunts from the third room of the Gu family were here, and all of them looked unhappy.

With Gu Tingye's support, Minglan came to Xiao Qin's side. She was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Xiao Qin's strange expression.

"I don't dare to let you kneel down. If your uncle and aunt find out, why don't you skin me?"

Hearing this, Minglan frowned.

Gu Tingye simply said: "Then I won't kneel down."

As soon as these words came out, his uncles immediately became angry.

"This is unreasonable. I have never heard of a bride not kneeling down when meeting her mother-in-law!"

"If this spreads out, I wonder if outsiders should say that my palace has no rules, or that I have a scholarly family and a poor upbringing?"

"."

They are the only people who dare to talk about the Sheng family.

Even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare to bring the matter to the champion's house.

According to common sense, Minglan is Wei Yuan's niece after all, and she would not look at the monk's face before looking at the Buddha's face, but these caring family members really have no scruples.

It was clear that he wanted to make Minglan look bad.

The reason why they did this was simply because they were afraid that Mrs. Minglan, the Marquis, would one day overwhelm them.

After all, their houses are living so well now. In the final analysis, they are sucking the blood of the Marquis Mansion.

Among Gu Tingye's uncles, especially the fourth and fifth families were the most adept at clinging to the Xiao Qin family. They spoke of Minglan mercilessly.

Why Minglan relies on her power and ignores etiquette and so on, she just opens her mouth.

They just felt that the financial life of the whole family was in the hands of Xiao Qin, and Minglan was their daughter by marriage.

The champion house can't even take care of other people's family affairs, right?

Therefore, he had to speak for Xiao Qin.

When Minglan heard this, she immediately retorted.

At this moment, a servant hurried over and shouted: "It's not good! It's not good!"

When Gu Tingye heard this, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The servant hurriedly said: "The people from the Imperial City Division took away the second son of the fourth master's family, and also took the third master too."

The second son of the fourth master's family is called Gu Tingbing, and the third master is Gu Tingwei, the biological son of the Xiao Qin family.

When Xiao Qin heard this, she couldn't sit still and said in a panic: "What's going on? Why did you want to take my son away?"

The servant said: "I heard from people in the Imperial City Department that the case involving two kings is involved."

The case of two kings?

As soon as these three words fell, everyone except Minglan and Gu Tingye turned pale.

The two kings case caused a bloody storm in the capital.

If you are not careful, you will end up with a lot of people being killed.

It was the only major and important case launched by the late emperor in his reign. It involved so many people and so many people that it was rare in ancient times!

Moreover, the person responsible for hearing the case of the two kings is the current champion!

Thinking of this, Xiao Qin immediately looked at Minglan and blurted out in a hurry:

"You are so cruel! Why did you want to harm my son?! Why!"

With Gu Tingye protecting Minglan, Minglan was naturally fine. She frowned and said:

"This is the first time I've heard of this. Besides, how could I harm your son?"

Xiao Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Who in the whole capital doesn't know that your uncle tried the Two Kings Case? With a stroke of his pen and a butcher's knife, how many families shed blood?"

As soon as these words came out, Minglan was about to refute when she suddenly heard a voice from outside the main hall, "How presumptuous!"

Then, Zhang Guifen was seen walking slowly.

According to the seniority of the British Duke's Palace and Ningyuan Hou's Palace, Zhang Guifen was one generation behind Xiao Qin.

But from Minglan's point of view, Zhang Guifen is no shorter than Xiao Qin.

Moreover, she is also the lady of the country!

Even the princess and princess must treat her with courtesy when they see her!

What's more, a mere wife of a Hou Mansion?

"Aunt?"

When Minglan saw the visitor, she thought a lot and quickly stepped forward to help her, "Why is aunt here?"

Xiao Qin took a deep breath, "I wondered who it was, it turned out to be the wife of the Marquis of Guanjun who came here!"

Then, she looked at the servants of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion who followed her,

"The wife of the Marquis of Guanjun is here, why didn't you come to inform us?"

The servants lowered their heads and dared not answer.

Zhang Guifen looked at the people of the Gu family and smiled, "I came here presumptuously today, the lady won't blame me, right?"

Xiao Qin trembled, "How dare I?"

Zhang Guifen nodded, "That's good, since you don't blame me, I have something to blame you for."

"Just now, when I came here, I heard you say that it was my Marquis of Guanjun who framed others and caused them to go to jail?"

At this point, she stood in front of Xiao Qin, looked at her with a contemptuous look, and said in a deep voice, "How dare you say this?"

Xiao Qin's pupils shrank instantly, and she obviously felt great pressure from Zhang Guifen.

Afterwards, regardless of whether the Gu family let her sit down or not, she found a chair and sat down, and said slowly:

"Don't worry, everyone, as long as the Imperial City Bureau investigates it clearly, we will definitely give you justice."

"Of course, if there is any problem during the investigation, or if some other things are investigated, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you to go to the Imperial City Bureau."

When everyone heard her say this, how could they not understand? All this is the work of the Marquis of Guanjun Mansion!

It is clear that they are here to support Minglan!

"Madam, are you threatening my Gu family?" The fourth old master of the Gu family asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Zhang Guifen glanced at him, then looked at Gu Tingye, "He is the Marquis, you are not, you can't represent the Gu family."

After a pause, she said, "Of course, if you feel dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor to file a complaint, saying that my Marquis of Guanjun Mansion deliberately framed your Gu family."

"As long as you dare, go."

Dare? Who dares?

Everyone stopped talking.

Zhang Guifen smiled and said, "Again, this matter has nothing to do with my Guanjun Marquis Mansion. I believe that as long as the Imperial City Bureau investigates it clearly, you will be cleared of all charges. Ming girl, what do you think of me? Am I right?"

——

Later, Minglan took Zhang Guifen to the courtyard where she now lived.

Gu Tingye followed them.

On the way, Minglan's maid Danju smiled and said, "Madam, you are really impressive today. You finally helped our girl vent her anger. You don't know how difficult those people were for my girl today."

Zhang Guifen smiled and rolled her eyes at her, saying, "You can't call her girl anymore now."

Danju understood instantly and quickly changed her words, "It should be Madam."

Gu Tingye was very happy when he heard it.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Zhang Guifen looked at Gu Tingye and said, "Don't blame me for not informing you, the Ningyuan Marquis, about what happened today."

Gu Tingye bowed and said, "Aunt, you are helping me, how dare I do that?"

Zhang Guifen nodded, "Before Minglan got married, I heard a lot about your family's affairs, and I also know the grievances you suffered."

"But you can suffer grievances in this family, but Ming girl can't."

"What his uncle and I mean is that if Ming girl is wronged and it's inconvenient for you to clean up the house, then leave it to us."

Minglan was moved, "Aunt, don't worry, it's not as serious as you said. After all, the two people detained by the Imperial City Division are my husband's brothers"

Zhang Guifen pinched her nose, "You just got married, and you're already turning your elbow outward? Don't worry, I know what's going on."

The three chatted for a while before Zhang Guifen got up and said goodbye.

Minglan had been guarding her at the gate of the mansion.

When they returned, Danju said, "Madam, the Grand Tutor and the Lady of the State really love you and are worried that you will not be able to handle the Gu family after you just married here."

Before she finished speaking, Minglan interrupted, "What nonsense are you talking about? The arrest of people by the Imperial City Division has nothing to do with the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion!"

Danju hurriedly said, "Yes, I said the wrong thing."

At this time, Minglan suddenly sighed.

How could she not know that her uncle and aunt loved her very much?

But she didn't know when she could repay this heavy favor.

Two days later, Minglan returned home.

Gu Tingye chose the largest and most luxurious carriage to accompany Minglan back to her parents' home.

Although it was not as good as the imperial carriage of the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion, it was also luxurious.

When they arrived at the Sheng family, they saw Sheng Hong waiting outside the mansion.

Gu Tingye got off the carriage first, and then helped Minglan down, and the two of them bowed to Sheng Hong together.

Minglan saw that her mother Wei Shuyi looked a little pale, and just when she was about to greet her, she saw her two sisters walking slowly.

Wei Shuyi said: "We are not in a hurry, you go and greet your sisters first."

Minglan nodded, bowed to Rulan and Molan, "Hello, two sisters."

At this time, Gu Tingye ordered people to bring two boxes, bowed to Sheng Hong and said:

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has prepared a small gift, I hope you don't mind."

How could Sheng Hong mind?

He was so happy that he couldn't wait.

He said a few good words and invited everyone to the main hall.

Gu Tingye chatted with Sheng Hong.

Minglan was pulled away by her two sisters to talk some women's private talk.

When the whole family was having dinner, Minglan suddenly looked at Molan and asked, "I heard that Fourth Sister has been getting close to Liang Han, the son of the Earl of Yongchang?"

When this was said, Sheng Hong frowned slightly.

Molan explained quickly, "No, who told you about it, Sixth Sister?"

Minglan smiled and shook her head, "It's just talk from the market, Fourth Sister, don't take it seriously."

She didn't know whether others took it seriously, but Sheng Hong must have taken it to heart.

Minglan also heard about it from Miss Zhao.

One day, Miss Zhao heard a few guests who were drinking tea talking about this matter, saying that the fourth girl of the Sheng family had a close relationship with the playboy in the Yongchang Earl's Mansion.

How many families in the whole capital are there with the surname Sheng?

And the reason why Minglan talked about this matter was to warn Molan.

Don't do anything wrong with the reputation of the daughter of the Sheng family.

But Molan didn't think so and was angry.

She thought that they were all daughters of the Sheng family, so why could the eldest sister and Minglan marry into the noble family, but she couldn't?

What was the difference between her and him?

It was nothing more than a status?

Molan was very dissatisfied.

After the meal.

Minglan did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with her mother for a while.

She also told her about the Imperial City Division.

Wei Shuyi said, "This is probably your uncle's idea. When I feel better, I will go to the Marquis' Mansion and tell your uncle. You are grown up now. You can't let your uncle worry about everything."

Minglan nodded.

Wei Shuyi said again, "Find a time for you and Tingye to visit your uncle."

Minglan said, "I have discussed it with him. We will visit your uncle at the Marquis' Mansion later."

Wei Shuyi shook his head and said, "Today is the day you return home, but you went to the Marquis' Mansion. This is not appropriate."

Minglan said, "What's wrong? In my heart, my uncle loves me more than my father, and I thought that if I wasn't afraid of my grandmother being sad, I would go to my uncle first."

Wei Shuyi coughed twice and stopped persuading her.

She asked anxiously: "Mother, it's only been two days, why do you look so bad?"

Wei Shuyi sighed and said: "Don't tell your uncle about my affairs, and you don't have to worry, I know it in my heart."

After a pause, Wei Shuyi stroked Minglan's cheek and showed a pale smile,

"Mu Ge'er is grown up now. I think I will find a time and a reason to let Mu Ge'er go to your uncle to study and practice martial arts."

"When you are free, go to your uncle and your brother more often."

Minglan didn't hear any hidden meaning, and nodded subconsciously: "Okay, please rest assured, mother."

After that, Wei Shuyi waved to Mu Ge'er.

Mu Ge'er came over, "Mother."

Wei Shuyi put his hand on the back of Minglan's hand, looked at the two siblings, and said seriously:

"Before your mother came to the Sheng family, she depended on your aunt and uncle. The three of us siblings supported each other and overcame many hardships."

"From now on, you two should also be like me and your uncle, with a deep sister-brother relationship, and work together to overcome difficulties in the future."
